    Very good organization, bus on time and clean, nice bus driver. One stop each on the way there and back. We had only booked the bus trip with entrance tickets and still got good tips from the tour guide on board, as well as during the trip in English and Spanish. We hired an audio guide on site for 10 euros and off we went. About 3.5 hours on site!

    Incredible experience visiting Pompeii, we had a decent amount of time to explore the ruins on our own as we didn't have the guided tour. The guide (Marcus) who took us from Rome to Pompeii and back was very friendly, talkative and knowledgable, on the journey to Pompeii telling us about the history of the area and places we were going past. At our brief stop off in Naples he came over to me and chatted about Vesuvius and the surrounding area pointing things out to me.

    Our guide was great. He was young and excited and his English was very good. Manuelo (?) was ideal to represent your company to a foreigner. It was a very full itinerary and the included lunch was delicious and FILLING!

    What I booked was not what I was expecting as I thought it was a guided tour of Pompeii but the bus guide upgraded our tickets to include lunch and the guided tours of Napoli and Pompeii. So glad we paid the extra for this otherwise we would not have seen as much of Pompeii as we did. Raphael was very knowledgeable and kept us on task to get the most out of our experience.
